French Language: narrative pattern of the tale – study on words (determiners, pronouns – subject – epithets) Algebra: division of decimal numbers, problem solving, priority order of calculations. Geometry: Axis symmetry, angles (names, measure, constructions), triangles (types, constructions, particular lines within the triangle) Sciences: properties of air and flight (notion of matter, gravity, Bernoulli Principle, lift) History: Greek Civilization Geography: World population. English:Literature- Students complete varying activities, including written responses, relating to the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Reading- Students will now be required to select novel of their choice. Non Fiction- Students are introduced to an online newspaper. A subscription has been bought for the class. This varies the reading material they are exposed to, whist exposing the students to world issues in order to guide them on their journey of becoming global citizens. Writing- To continue descriptive writing and solidify and expand upon the skills that have been taught since September.

During the months of November and December the students will study the verbs and expressions such as “gustar” (like)and “no me gusta” (dislike), “bailar” (dance), “nadir”(swim), “escribir” (write), etc. In total they will be able to employ around 20 verbs. Music: “Legend of Polar Mountain” musical to be presented January Physical Education: team strategies (Ultimate Frisbee) – knowing oneself: running and maintaining a rhythm. Visual Arts:Continued exploration of the principles of design through a variety of media with a focus on emphasis and different/changing perspectives
